Hello! I confirm that this trick work. To make things easier, put the folder you want to hide in the main root of your hard disk (C:).

After gain access to the CMD and type cd.. a couple of times till you are on the main root (C:). After that follow the instructions above. Basically you will have only to write:

attrib +h +s +r myhiddenfolder

Hi there,
Try this other mode:

1: Go to RUN and type cmd.

2: Go to the location of the file which you wanted to hide.

3: Type attrib +h +s +r filename.ext, and hit enter

4 (Important!): To make these files visible, follow step1 and step 2 then type
attrib -h -s -r filename.ext

for example: e:\> attrib +h +s +r adheep.doc [to hide]
e:\> attrib -h -s -r adheep.doc [ to view]
